Introduction
So this is just a one-off I am just making up as I go along, because I'm bored and I hope people will like this!!!!

It's not too long, so if you're just curious on what it is and if It's good or not, just read the whole thing ;P

So this takes place a few seasons after the book Mattimeo, so Mattimeo is about 15 or 16 seasons old now.

WARNING: This has a torture scene, so if you are sensitive then watch for the brackets saying "Torture scene" and "End of torture scene" like this:

[TORTURE SCENE]

BLA BLA BLA TORTURE SCENE

[END OF TORTURE SCENE]

Okay? Okay good :3

One dark night changed many lives...
Nadalie Ruinpaw, a young squirrelmaid -about 15 years old- was berry-picking with her good friend, Arulin Feircemoon. Arulin was also about 15 years old.

They had set out in the late afternoon, more of an excuse to get away from all the noise of the abby and into the peace of the woodlands... Or so they thought. Peice was only a mask.

They were both infermery assistants and they were favorites among the elders and dibbuns- well everyone liked them because hate and rivalries did not exsist in the abby.

Soon dusk had fallen. Nadalie and Arulin had lost track of time. They were both seated on the ground with their backs to a large oak tree. They were gossiping without a thought that danger was near.

"The other day Sam and Mattimeo were fishing in the pond, and when Sam pulled up this little small-mouth bass and then turned to me and waved, and I could have sworn he winked at me!" Arulin was telling Nadalie.

"Oooh Arulin has a lover!"

Arulin whacked Nadalie's arm playfully.

"I do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too! Why are you telling me this if you didn't like him?"

Arulin's face turned bright red.

"Um.. I-"

A bush a few meters to the left of them russled. They both turned sharply.

"What was that?" Arulin asked.

"I don't know, should we go see?" Nadalie said with her eye on the bush.

She got no answer from Arulin.

"Nadalie?" Arulin said, turning to see where she was.

A large rat was where Arulin had been before the bush russled. He had tribal face paint on his face.

Nadalie screamed and stumbled backwards.

She felt paws on her shoulder and over her mouth.

A large stone came down on her head and everything went black.

Nadalie woke up to the screams of her friend. Her eyes popped open and she felt the bounds on her paws and footpaws, and the gag in her mouth. She whipped around as well as she could and saw a frightening scene.

[TORTURE SCENE]

Arulin was being rosted alive over a very hot fire. She could feel the intense heat from where she was and she was several meters away from the fire. The cannabalistic tribe was dancing around the fire as two rats turned her on the branch she was tied to.

"Arulin!!" Nadalie screamed and lunged, but only hit the wood bars of her cage. Two rats poked at her with sticks, drooling with hungry eyes.

"Nadalie!!!" The very unfortunate squirrel screamed from over the fire. Nadalie could see from where she was that Arulin's fur had been burnt off and she was severely burned.

Nadalie turned away with big salty tears in her eyes.

So maybe this isnt a one off, but I'll continue this later, I promise :(
